I Can Meet with Dead Scientists-Chapter 327 - 193: Collaboration Between 2 Top Elite Academies (6.6K)

Speaking of the three words "National Science University."

Many people might associate it with the abbreviation for "National University of Defense Technology."

But in reality.

National Science University refers to Huaxia Academy of Sciences University.

English name: University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

That's UCAS, located in Yanjing.

USTC, on the other hand, is the Huaxia University of Science and Technology.

English name: University of Science and Technology of China.

Abbreviated as USTC, located in Lu Prefecture.

To be honest.

If we only look at the English letters, these two schools seem to overlap just like that; the IP addresses are poles apart.

Theoretically, it shouldn't cause so many hackers to misfire.

But this is just the shallowest layer on the surface.

Those familiar with the rivalry between the two academies know that they share similarities beyond just the Chinese names.

The relationship between the two is quite complex, tangled in myriad ways, and Huaxia may not have many top schools with such "fated bond."

Earlier, when introducing USTC's history, the Southward move of Ke Da was briefly mentioned:

At that time, Ke Da faculty and students took the train, with all their belongings, leaving Yanjing, and moved south to what is now Lu Prefecture.

This happened between 1969-1970, closely related to the situation at the time, to put it bluntly, it was a huffy departure.

By 1978.

The situation began to change, and the relationship between Ke Da and Yanjing slightly eased, so Ke Da established a branch campus in Yanjing.

The full name of the branch campus is the Graduate School of Huaxia University of Science and Technology, Huaxia's first postgraduate institution approved by the state.

After 1982.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences approved the simultaneous use of the names: Huaxia Academy of Sciences Graduate School and Huaxia University of Science and Technology Graduate School.

All this seemed to be progressing in a very positive direction, unfortunately, Ke Da later appeared with an odd character.

It was the person previously mentioned who preached quantum Buddhism, Zhu Xishi, the shame of Ke Da.

This person had so many bizarre actions, shouting slogans louder than anyone, but not doing anything substantial.

Wasted a decade of great development opportunities; the students of Southern University of Science and Technology should understand the feelings of USTC students.

During his tenure, the relationship between Ke Da and the Chinese Academy of Sciences deteriorated to a freezing point, with many projects from the Science Institute sidelined, and even instances where Academy leaders were turned away during inspections.

How could the Chinese Academy of Sciences tolerate this, so they turned their attention to Ke Da's graduate school in Yanjing.

Finally, in 2012, it was separated, establishing National Science University, located at Ke Da's original location.

Later, outsiders referred to USTC as Nicole—a homophonic name for "You Ke Da," with Ke Da calling itself Snail Shell, and National Science University called Shell.

After the establishment of National Science University, it received a large influx of resources, hence the emotions of USTC toward National Science University are very complex:

It's like the eldest son went out to explore the world, and the family suddenly had a younger son, showered with extreme affection.

There is definitely a blood relation, but a certain animosity and conflict between them are inevitable.

For example, when National Science University failed to make the "Double First-Class" list, USTC celebrated joyously; when certain USTC individuals failed to be recognized as academicians, National Science University couldn't hide their happiness.

Back then, a retired USTC teacher went to Yanjing for a meeting and arrived at National Science University, using a paper with the word "Technology" to cover up the word "Academy."

After all, for many elders, Yuquan Road is their Ke Da.

It's where they attended classes, ate, and slept, it's their youth.

The entanglement of grievances between USTC and National Science University lasted for two to three generations, and in many people's eyes, they are essentially a family in a quarrel.

Moreover, due to National Science University only starting enrollment in 2014, internationally quite a significant number of people...or institutions, treat National Science University as a branch of USTC.

After all, back then, Shell was still non-exclusive, and many international institutions completely did not understand why the Science Institute would establish two schools with almost identical positioning.

For example, in 2017.

A delegation from National Science University exchanged visits with the National University of Xinga Po through the Science Institute's lead.

As a result, during the preparation phase of the visit, the invitation was sent to USTC's president's email...

Another example is both schools using the Chinese Academy of Sciences' academic system, with telecommunication central located in a room at the Academy, etc...

Even in the journal world, currently, some journals have marked Shell with Snail Shell's notes—most absurdly, several Chinese journals are doing this.

Additionally, in 2021.

Moutan Middle School even had someone apply to National Science University thinking it was USTC, only realizing the mistake upon arriving in Yanjing.

By the way, it's worth mentioning.

Annually, National Science University enrolls just over four hundred undergraduates, with master's and doctoral students totaling 15,000.

The adorable university freshmen are surrounded by scruffy, high-hairline uncles and aunts—imagine the depth of the psychological shadow this scenario casts...

In any case.

The industry is like this, let alone those hackers...or rather their funders.

The primary attack IP they provide is naturally USTC, but likewise, National Science University's IP is classified as a branch in the backup column.

And very coincidentally.....

Tonight happens to be the course selection day for Shell's second semester.

With over fifty thousand students, even after deducting those who don't need to select courses, the instantaneous hits far exceed the quantity on a "bug exterminator" product page—the product page barely gets a thousand orders in ten minutes.

Now the question arises:

Two "USTC" IPs, one with high instantaneous traffic, the other with low instantaneous traffic, which would you choose?
